I think this is very nice. Looks catalog ready. Maybe that's why not much response. perhaps make it moodier like the blues... Its so clean and sterile and perfect that for me does not really appeal to emotion.

all that aside its very nice modeling!

I agree with Bulwerk. It's very neat & nice, but sterile. Modelling is great, but materials are very basic.

Needs moar textures. :)

I'll give it a whirl. Unfortunately Steinways are very sterile.

The reflection of the strings on the interior face of the lid is fantastic. You chose a great angle for that, since at eye level you wouldn't see that reflection.

The pages stick out though. Let them bend a tiny bit. Sheet music wouldn't have those kind of margins, so maybe use a different image. Someone buying a Steinway would probably not use photocopied (i.e., printed on white letter paper) sheet music anyway.

I thought that myself but they seemed to fit. I'll have a go a shortening them.

Thanks for all the tips.
